The ____ power of a series RLC circuit can be computed using any of the pure resistive values.
A) true
B) apparent
C) VAR
D) reactive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The true power of a RLC circuit can be computed using only the pure resistive values because true power is the actual power consumed by the circuit and it is dissipative in nature, i.e., it is dependent on resistance only. In contrast, reactive power and VAR are dependent on the reactive components (inductance and capacitance) of the circuit. Apparent power is the vector sum of true power and reactive power.
